Man, I hit pay dirt on this strip of Connecticut Ave. Check out all that detail. Close up after the jump. (more…)

I know this is outside of my normal stomping grounds but this is one of my all time favorites in the city. It is located near the National Cathedral. I think it is ridiculously cool. But I had a girlfriend who used to say she imagined hobbits lived inside…

Living large up in here. This is a building a few doors north of yesterday’s “judging old buildings”.
|
Nicely painted. Too bright or looks good?
|
Many folks may recognize this grand building from Connecticut Ave. I think the most unique features are the sculptures up top.
So what style is this building called? Do you like the sculptures up top?
|
I’m just having a harder time finding cool ones. I like the curved top on this double door.
|
I thought this was a really unusual corner house. Totally cool but unlike any corner rowhouse I had previously seen. Do you dig?
|
This one is just super sweet. I dig the little glass squares and the cylindrical metallic columns at the base. Right on – well done!
|
I think I’ve shown this one in the past but it is so extraordinary I wanted to show some detail. I think this is probably one of my top three favorites in Columbia Heights. And to the commenter who dislikes DC rowhouses – I suggest you pay closer attention. Many of the rowhouses in Columbia Heights are equally phenomenal. Detail of this home after the jump. (more…)

That second floor window is fresh.
